METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING AN OPHTHALMIC

PRESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to prescriptions for eyeglass ophthalmic lenses, and in particularly to methods for improving the values of these prescriptions.

BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION

People suffering from poor visual acuity many times find relief by using vision correcting lenses, i.e., ophthalmic lenses. These may come in the form of corrective lenses fitted into eyeglasses. For their manufacturing, the desired optical characteristics of the ophthalmic lenses (e.g., sphere power, cylinder and cylinder axis) are determined in the following way: the patient is given a visual acuity test (i.e., eye vision measurement procedure) - be it objective (using an auto-refractometer for example), or subjective (using a trial frame or a phoropter fitted with trial lenses). The outcome of the test is a prescription (i.e., original prescription) according to which the ophthalmic lenses for correcting the patient's vision can be manufactured.

When considering patients suffering from myopia or presbyopia, the patient goes through an eye vision measurement procedure for determining his prescription for far vision and/or near vision correction. In this procedure the patient is usually instructed to read a hand held book (in near vision measurement) or to look at a testing board with symbols (in far vision measurement) using different correctional lenses. The optimal correction lenses for far vision and/or near vision are then selected, and the far vision and/or near vision prescription is prescribed to the patient by the prescriber.

The existing different eye vision measurements are performed according to various procedural protocols and under different conditions. These procedures are characterized by a plurality of parameters which influence on each eye vision measurement, and usually are not taken into consideration when a prescription is provided to the patient. These parameters can be geometrical and optical parameters that can be expressed by means of distances, angles, and optical characterizing parameters. Instead of taking into consideration the different values of these parameters, usually default values are used. This lack of uniformity between the parameters, and the use of default values for these parameters, usually results in inaccuracy in the prescription that is provided to the patient.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENTLY DISCLOSED SUBJECT MATTER

The presently disclosed subject matter discloses system and method for adjusting an original prescription (known in the art standard ophthalmic prescription) to be used in manufacturing eyeglass ophthalmic lenses for correcting vision of a patient. The presently disclosed system and method compensate the difference between the ophthalmic lenses as prescribed a prescriber (e.g., optometrist, ophthalmologist) and the lenses' optical performance as perceived by the patient. According to the presently disclosed subject matter, in order to perform this compensation, a set of supplementary input data can be added to the original prescription in order to improve the accuracy of matching the ophthalmic lenses to the patient. As a result of this compensation, an adjusted prescription, which is based on the original prescription and on the supplementary input data, is calculated.

The adjusted prescription can be used for manufacturing ophthalmic lenses, or it can be used for calculating an as-worn compensated prescription in which the chosen frame of the ophthalmic lenses is taken into consideration, and only then the ophthalmic lenses will be manufactures based on the compensated prescription.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Reference is now made to Fig. 1A which schematically illustrates an example of a known in the art FV eye vision measurement system 50. According to this example, a FV eye vision measurement is performed when the patient 10 views a FV source object, i.e., a testing board 30, and recognized the symbols 32 of this board according to a specific known measurement protocol. In order to view the symbols 32, the patient 10 uses his eyes 12 which are directed towards the testing board 30 through a measurement instrument, i.e., a trial frame 20. During this eye vision measurement, the prescriber replaces the correction lenses of the trial frame within frames 22 so as to find the optimal correction lenses with which the person can recognize the symbols 32 correctly. Following the FV eye vision measurement, an original prescription is prescribed to the patient for specific ophthalmic correction lenses.

Fig. IB schematically illustrates an example of a known in the art NV eye vision measurement system 100. According to this example, a NV eye vision measurement is performed when the patient 60 views a NV source object, i.e., a book 70, and recognized the text of this book according to a specific known in the art protocol. In order to view the text of the book 70, the patient 60 uses his eyes 62 which are directed towards the book 70 through a measurement instrument, i.e., a trial frame 80. During this measurement, the prescriber replaces the correction lenses of the trial frame 80 so as to find the optimal correction lenses with which the person can read the text of the book 70 without any difficulties. Following this NV eye vision measurement, an original prescription is prescribed to the patient for specific ophthalmic correction lenses.

Fig. 1C illustrates an example of a known in the art original prescription 90 which can be provided to a patient by a prescriber (e.g., optometrist, ophthalmologist) following the eye vision measurement procedures of Figs. 1A and IB. As can be seen from Fig. 1C, the values of the original prescription are represented in a table. The original prescription of Fig. 3 is provided after FV and NV eye vision measurement procedures.

The known in the art vision measurement procedures that are exemplary disclosed in Fig. 1A and IB are characterized and/or depend on a variety of parameters which can influence of the selection of the optimal correction lenses for the patient, and as a result of that on the original prescription 90 according to which the ophthalmic lenses will be manufactured. These parameters that influence on the final original prescription that is prescribed to the patient are referred hereinafter as 'supplementary input data'. The supplementary input data can be represented by a set of values that depend on different factors such as: the environment of the eye vision measurement, the characteristics of the measurement instrument, the measurement method and the patient's personal parameters. These factors are usually not taken into consideration when the original prescription 90 is prescribed. In order take these factors into consideration, and thereby improve the accuracy of the original prescription 90, the presently disclosed subject matter uses the method of Figs. 2A and 2B as will be detailed below. This method uses the supplementary input data that is related to eye vision measurement procedure in order to improve the accuracy of the known in the art original prescription 90. By this adjustment, the influence of the supplementary input data on the lenses' optical performance as perceived by the patient is taken into consideration, and this provides a much accurate adjusted prescription according to which the ophthalmic lenses can be manufactured.

Reference is now made to Fig. 2A which generally illustrates the steps of a method 200 which can be performed by the system of the presently disclosed subject matter for adjusting the original prescription 90 to be used in the manufacturing of ophthalmic lenses for spectacles that will be used for correcting vision of a patient.

In Step 110 of the method 200, the original prescription 90 is obtained based on an eye vision measurement performed by virtue of a real optical system. The real optical system is defined as the whole system in which the eye vision measurement was performed. This system includes the following components: the real eyes of the patient, the real measuring instrument and at least one of NV and FV real source objects used for the eye vision measurement. For example, Fig. 1A illustrates a real optical system for FV eye vision measurement that is defined by the eyes 12, the trial frame 20 (the real measuring system), and the testing board 30 (the FV real source object). For another example, Fig. IB illustrates a real optical system for NV eye vision measurement that is defined by the eyes 62, the trial frame 80 (the real measuring system) and the book 70 (the NV real source object).

In step 120 of the method 200, the supplementary input data is obtained. The supplementary input data is associated with the eye vision measurement procedure and can be divided to the following three main groups: 1. source object data; 2. measuring instrument data; and 3. eye data. Each group has a plurality of parameters, the value of which can be provided by the prescriber, any party involved in the process of prescribing and/or manufacturing the lenses. Alternatively or additionally, these parameters can receive default values which are known in the art. The presently disclosed method 200 can use at least some or all the value of these parameters. The content of the parameters of each group is detailed below as follows:

1. The source object data:

a. FV object distance from patient - this parameter estimates the distance between the patient's eyes and the FV real source object (e.g., printed board, projector's screen, computer screen). This parameter is calculated according to the function: D _s ere D _scr is the FV object

distance from patient, D _wa ii is the horizontal distance between the patient's eyes and the FV source object, H _scr is item I.e. below, H _eye is item l.d. below. The distance D _scr helps correcting the needed sphere power, S — S„.— i/D _s . _r . where S _c is the compensated sphere power, and S _m is the measured sphere power in the original prescription. The value of the FV object distance from patient can be between 2 and 8 meter; its default value is 6 meter; and it can be measured by a ruler or a tape measure.

i. trial frame lens diameter - this parameter affects the location on the lens through which the user views the NV source object, and therefore the amount of the oblique refraction present in the vision measurement.

The supplementary input data above can comprise a measurement data which is updated in each eye vision measurement, and a general data which is patient- independent and is related to the environment of the eye vision measurement and the real optical system. In other words, there are patient-independent parameters in supplementary input data that can be changed periodically (e.g., once a year), and there are parameters which are measurement-dependent, and are updated in each eye vision measurement procedure.

In one example, in addition to the original prescription that is usually provided, the optometrist will have to provide answers to the following exemplary questions as part of the supplementary input data in a special prescription (that includes the parameters of the original prescription and the parameters of the supplementary input data):

The rest of the parameters that might differ from one patient to another (patient- dependent) will be presented to the optometrist in each eye vision measurement procedure.

The answer to all the questions above, are inserted into the system of the presently disclosed subject matter and are being attributed to their corresponding parameters in the supplementary input data. For example, an answer to the question:

"BVD: " in case of a FV procedure, will be attributed to the parameter: FV BVD between the measuring instrument in FV vision measurement and the eye of the patient.

Following the step 120, a step 130 of the method 200 is performed so as to calculate a simulated optical system that simulates the real optical system in which the eye vision measurement procedure has been performed. This calculation is performed by an Optical System Builder (OSB) algorithm that uses the original prescription and the supplementary input data, and is detailed in Figs. 2B and 3 to which reference is now made.

According to Fig. 2B, there are three steps according to which the simulated optical system 300 of step 130 is generated, as follows:

In step 131 of step 130, the position of a FV simulated source object 210 and/or a NV simulated source object 220 is calculated using the source object data. The FV simulates source object 210 simulates the FV real source object (e.g., the testing board 30), and the NV simulated source object 220 simulates the NV real source object (e.g., the book 70).

In step 132 of step 130, a simulated measuring instrument 230 is calculated using the measuring instrument data and the original prescription. The simulated measuring instrument 230 simulates the real measuring instrument (e.g., the trial frame 20 for FV, the trial frame 80 for NV).

In step 133 of step 130, a simulated eye 240 (or two simulated eyes which are not shown) of the patient is calculated using the eye data. The simulated eye 240 of the patient simulates the real eye of patient (e.g., eyes 12, eyes 62).

The FV simulated source object 210, the NV simulated source object 220, the simulated measuring instrument 230, and the simulated eye 240 of the simulated optical system 300 are geometrical and physical representation (i.e., position, orientation, dimensions and optical characteristics) of the real optical system's components in which the eye vision measurement procedure has been performed. In order to represent the real optical system by means of the simulated optical system, the OSB algorithm, being represented by the step 130, geometrically and physically characterizes each one of its components by using the supplementary input data and data of the original prescription. Each one the simulated optical system's components has its own corresponding parameters, selected from the supplementary input data, according to which it is simulated, as detailed below.

In order to represent the FV simulated source object 210 (when a FV measurement was performed), its simulated geometrical position is calculated in step 131 by using one or more of the following parameters of the simulated object data: FV object distance from patient, FV usage of mirrors, FV height of FV object with respect to the floor, FV vertical height of patient's eye from the floor, FV vertical height difference between the FV object and the patient's eye, and FV compensation of lens sphere power measurement. For example, by knowing the value of the FV object distance from patient, the distance Ό _\ can be calculated in order to position the FV simulated source object 210 in the simulated optical system 300 with respect to the simulated eye 240.

In order to represent the NV simulated source object 220 (when a NV measurement was performed), its geometrical position is calculated in step 131 by using one or more of the following parameters of the simulated object data: NV object distance measurement, NV vertical observation angle of patient, phoropter lens diameter and trial frame lens diameter. For example, by knowing the value of the NV object distance measurement, the distance D ₂ can be calculated in order to position the NV simulated source object 220 in the simulated optical system 300 with respect to the simulated eye 240.

In order to represent the simulated measuring instrument 230, its simulated geometrical position, geometrical orientation, and optical and geometrical characteristics are calculated in step 132 by using one or more of the parameters of the measurement instrument data.

In order to represent the geometrical position of the simulated measuring instrument 230 for simulating the geometrical position of the real measuring instrument, one or more of the following parameters of the measurement instrument data is used: FV BVD between the measuring instrument in NV vision measurement and the eye of the patient, FV taking into consideration of the BVD, NV BVD between the measuring instrument in NV vision measurement and the eye of the patient, NV taking into consideration of the BVD, FV type of measuring instrument, NV type of measuring instrument, phoropter parameters, FV number of lenses and their position in trial frame slots, and NV number of lenses and their position in trial frame slots. For example, if a phoropter was used in the eye vision measurement procedure, the phoropter parameters can be used for determining the geometrical position of the lenses in the simulated measurement system, according to the phoropter's specification that includes the phoropter's brand and model. If a trail frame was used in the eye vision measurement procedure, the FV number of lenses and their position in trial frame slots (for FV) or NV number of lenses and their position in trial frame slots (for NV) can be used for determining the geometrical position of the lenses in the simulated measurement system, according to the trial frame's specification.

In order to represent the geometrical orientation of the simulated measuring instrument 230 for simulating the geometrical orientation of the real measuring instrument, one or more of the following parameters of the measurement instrument data is used: FV vertical tilt of the measuring instrument, NV vertical tilt of the measuring instrument, FV horizontal tilt of the measuring instrument, NV horizontal tilt of the measuring instrument, FV vertical observation angle of patient, NV vertical observation angle of patient, FV horizontal observation angle of patient, and NV horizontal observation angle of patient.

In order to represent the optical and geometrical characteristics of the simulated measuring instrument 230 for simulating the optical and geometrical characteristics of the real measuring instrument, one or more of the following parameters of the measurement instrument data is used: phoropter parameters, and trial frame parameters. As mentioned above, these parameters include data related to the specification the phoropter and the trial frame, which can be used for simulating the optical and geometrical characteristics of the real measuring instrument.

In order to represent the simulated eye 240, its pupil's simulated geometrical dimensions, geometrical position and orientation, and dimensions of a reference refraction surface 245 are calculated in step 133 using one or more of the parameters of the eye data.

In order to represent the eye 240 pupil's geometrical dimensions for simulating the geometrical dimensions of the pupil of the real eye of the patient, one or more of the following parameters of the eye data is used: FV strength of illumination during the eye vision measurement, NV strength of illumination during the eye vision measurement, FV pupil diameter, and NV pupil diameter.

In order to represent geometrical position and orientation of the simulated eye 240 for simulating the geometrical position and orientation of the real eye of the patient, one or more of the following parameters of the eye data is used: FV horizontal tilt of the measuring instrument, NV horizontal tilt of the measuring instrument, FV horizontal observation angle of patient, and NV horizontal observation angle of patient. The reference refraction surface can be any surface between the back surface of the measurement instrument and the patient's eye, but it is usually the back vertex sphere. In order to represent dimensions of reference refraction surface of the simulated eye 240 for simulating the dimensions of reference refraction surface of the real eye of the patient, the FV BVD between the measuring instrument in FV vision measurement and the eye of the patient or the NV BVD between the measuring instrument in NV vision measurement and the eye of the patient can be used for the calculation. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, a reference refraction surface 245 is similar to the back vertex sphere which is defined as a normal to patient's line of sight at a distance of BVD+el/2 from the center of the eye, where el is the eye-length and its default value can be approximately 28 mm, and BVD is the Back Vertex Distance which can be calculated from the FV BVD between the measuring instrument in FV vision measurement and the eye of the patient or from the NV BVD between the measuring instrument in NV vision measurement and the eye of the patient.

The step 130 can be expressed by the following equation:

OPT OPT

when Rx is the original prescription, SID is the supplementary input data, OSB( ) is the optical system builder function (algorithm), and OSOPT is the simulated optical system.

In step 140 of the method 200 of Fig. 2A, an adjusted prescription on the reference refraction surface 245 is calculated by using the original prescription and the simulated optical system as received from step 130. The adjusted prescription reflects the effect of the supplementary input data on the eye vision measurement procedure. The calculation of the adjusted prescription is performed by simulating wave fronts propagation from the FV or NV simulated source object (according to the FV or NV measurement procedure) through the simulated measurement instrument towards the simulated eye. The process of ray tracing is illustrated in Figs. 4A and 4B for FV and NV, respectively, and is represented by lines 270 and 280, correspondingly.

The step 140 is well known procedure in the art. It is designated herein by an optical operator 0( ), such as the optical operator of Stavroudis which is disclosed in the scientific paper: O.N. Stavroudis, "The Optics of Rays, Wavefronts and Caustics" (Academic Press, Optics & Laser Technology, vol. 5, issue 3, p. 143, 1972), the content of which is incorporated by reference. This paper discloses a method, based on eikonal functions, for calculating the localized refracted wavefronts beyond the optical element. The eikonal method, according to which the optical operator 0( ) is defined, involves precomputing eikonal functions and geometrical quantities related to the known and initial surfaces. It provides an efficient explicit computation of the localized refracted wavefronts, and provides an explicit computation of the coefficients which in the final term characterize the adjusted prescription on the reference refraction surface 245.

The step 140 can be expressed by the following equation:

ADJ _A ,| , OPT

Rx =0(Rx , OSOPT)-

OPT

where Rx is the original prescription, OSOPT is the simulated optical system, 0( ) is the optical operator defined above, and Rx ^AD7 is the adjusted prescription.

Reference is now made to Fig. 2C that illustrates a method 201 which uses the adjusted prescription for calculating an as-worn compensated prescription.

In step 150 of the method 201, frame parameters associated with a frame of the ophthalmic lens are obtained. This frame is the one the patient has chosen, in which the ophthalmic lenses will be installed. The frame parameters can be, for example, frame pantoscopic tilt, frame panoramic tilt, frame BVD, frame width, frame height, bridge width, and distance between lenses. All these are parameters known in the art which geometrically characterize a frame for ophthalmic lenses.

The steps 150, 160 and 170 of the method 201 are performed iteratively to calculate the as-worn compensated prescription.

The steps 160 and 170 can be expressed by the following equations:

(II) Rx ^AD =0(Rx ^CMP , OS _FIT )

where Rx ^CMP is the as-worn compensated prescription, SID are the frame parameters of the chosen frame, OSFIT is the fitted optical system as will be perceived by the patient with the lenses in the chosen frame, Rx ^AD7 is the adjusted prescription, 0( ) is the optical operator defined above, and OSB( ) is the optical system builder operator which is used at this time for simulating an optical system according to the chosen frame and the patient's eyes.

Eq. (I) and (II) are solved iteratively for the as-worn compensated prescription Rx ^CMP . In order to solve these equations, an initial guess is used for Rx ^CMP (e.g. Rx ^AD7 ). Then the algorithm solves the equation 0(Rx ^CMP , OSB(Rx ^CMP , SID™)) = Rx ^ADJ by using optimization techniques known in the art.

The calculation of the as-worn compensated prescriptions Rx ^CMP can be subsequently provided to an ophthalmic lenses manufacturing machine to produce the ophthalmic lenses. The computation steps of the methods 200 and 201 can be performed by an electronic processing system configured to execute these steps. The electronic processing system can include a computer having electronic processor with a display device and an input device. The electronic processor of the computer is configured to execute one or more steps of the method according to the presently disclosed subject matter. For example, the computer can perform step 130 (including 131, 132 and 133) and step 140 of method 200 and steps 160 and 170 of the method 201.

According to another example, the invention features a computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing the method and/or for storing the supplementary input data and the original prescription.
